Roger Federer Says He'll Decide on Tokyo Olympics Participation After Wimbledon

Tennis legend Roger Federer said Saturday that he will decide whether to play at the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo after competing at Wimbledon.

According to ESPN's Simon Chambers, Federer said: "With the team we decided we're going to reassess the situation after Wimbledon because ... obviously if I play really good here or really bad, I think it has an impact on how everything might look in the summer."

The 39-year-old has played only four tournaments this year since returning in March from a 13-month absence as a result of two knee surgeries.

After making it to the fourth round of the French Open earlier this month, Federer withdrew in an effort to preserve his health for Wimbledon and the grass-court season.
